  • The title was changed to Old And Older Pt.2

I have some advice for anyone  planning to detect within a mile of 350's place.   Just keep going. 🥸

Looks like you're having fun with your return to Minelab territory 350 .

Try adjusting the setting that sends some of that warmth uptah will ya ? 

My 800 is standing over in the corner stomping it's coil and whining   "I want to go to a beeeeeeeeeeeach "....😭

Mostly keep going because there won't be much left there 🤔

I feel your detector's pain, mine were prescribed a trip to Florida. 💊 Lucked out and it looks like all good weather while I'm there, but the forecast here got more ominous, might be coming back to a lil snow. Good thing we just got a Baby Bronco last spring.

Nice digging! When you go to the beach with Deus and Manticore, flag / mark some signals found with each and then compare the signals, tweak the settings, compare again. Take notes, maybe a video, have fun. It's a more robust way to compare machines than saying machine X found about the same or more as machine Y. The X vs Y finds is how most people compare machines, but it's hard to quantify search effort, making realistic comparisons difficult. - 1491

Brilliant stuff!

I recognise a lot of the material you're finding as the same as i get here in England. The difference is that it means a lot more to you as its really old there!

Dig deep my friend

 

Thanks Stupot!

You might find this interesting. 🤔

This area was discovered in 1607 by "Captayn John Smith", and was settled about 1640 by people who came down from Maryland for the most part, and some from Jamestown.

I was hunting a farm along the Potomac River and came upon this:

You should recognize it as a 1607 King James 1 sixpence. Half, anyway. 😅

I found other items with it, and put them all together in this display box:

I reunited both halves of the buckle about a year apart. 

These are my oldest finds and probably will stay that way, really how much older can you get unless someone dropped a Spanish coin? Captain Smith made another voyage up the Potomac in 1608, so quite possibly this all is from that voyage.

I retrieved these relics from private property I have permission to.

I am fortunate indeed to live where I do and have such generous landowners. 🙂 I've got another farm that was established around 1640, so I get lots of stuff from there as well!

I'd like to do some of that, maybe one of my buddies will have a Manticore while I'm using the D2, or a D2 when I'm using the Manticore.

I'm only going for 4 days, so I'm really just going to hoist the pirate flag. 🏴‍☠️ I want to get all the stuff I can get in the least time.

I'm putting my wife and dog up in a Hilton, so I'll be expected back in the afternoon for shopping, exploring, and food. 🤣

I'll probably do some field and beach stuff when I get back!
